Question

given are three numbers. if second and third​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be X. Now the second number would be 2X. If the second number is thrice the third number, the third number would be 2X/3. The average of the three numbers is 44, therefore the sum of these three numbers would be 44×3=132. Now we get the following equation.

X+2X+2X/3 =132

(3X+6X+2X)/3=132

11X/3=132

11X=132×3=396

X=396÷11=36

Therefore the numbers are

X=36

2X=72 and

2X/3=72/3=24

The first number is 36, the second number is 72 and the third number is 24. The highest number is the second number 72.
